For Editors

Publons gives editors the recognition they deserve for their efforts getting breakthrough research out to the world. We also help editors deal with key problems they face day-to-day. We know because they told us.

Show employers and funders how valuable you are to your field

Effortlessly keep a record of each manuscript you handle as evidence of how much the world's journals rely on your expertise.

Track where articles you handle get published & howthey perform over time

See where papers you reject end up being published and track the performance of articles you decided to publish, with article scores made on Publons and web activity measured by Altmetric.

Build your relationship with new and existing reviewers

Expand your reviewer pool with the best reviewers in your field, thank your loyal reviewers by inviting them to get recognition for their contributions, and provide confidential, constructive feedback to improve reviewer performance.

Access your powerful partner dashboard

Editors for partner journals get full access to your Partner Dashboard with exclusive tools, insights and analytics into reviewer behaviour and availability. Find, screen and recruit reviewers from the Dashboard knowing that we have verified, preferred email addresses.

Knowing that my impact can be greater acts as an incentive to accept more reviews.

— Chris Sampson, Research Assistant - Division of Rehabilitation and Ageing, University of Nottingham

It was a little easier spending [the morning] on manuscript review knowing, even if comments are ignored - I still get some credit. Thanks Publons.

— Steven B. Roberts, University of Washington
